Did I jinx myself?

By buying a laptop computer? I finally broke down and bought one a week and a half ago. Just a very basic, low end model. Not to replace my regular computer, but I sometimes wanted to be able "compute" somewhere other than holed up in my computer room. Last night my desktop computer decided to crash on me. No warning whatsoever. Did I have my computer backed up? Unfortunately I think you know the answer to my question. I am just sick about it and tomorrow will head to the computer repair shop and hope that somehow my files can be retrieved, especially my digital photos. I hope all you are there are much wiser than me ~ if not, BACK-UP YOUR COMPUTER.

Thank you so much for all the kind comments regarding my fostering Linnie. All of you have much more confidence in me than I have in myself, but I am feeling a little less overwhelmed. Linnie and I seem to be adjusting. She has calmed down and is no longer pacing non-stop. She slept through the night last night without waking up crying. I've actually had to make a chart so that I remember to give her all the meds. She is on ear medication for two weeks to rid her of a nasty infection. I bought some Glucosamine to give her daily in hopes that it will help with the arthritis. She is also on eye ointment and drops five times a day. Her poor eyes are so dry. The medications must feel really good because she lets me put them in without a fight. She knows how to find her food and water and is usually sleeping in her bed in the kitchen. She has been peacefully sleeping in the dining room for the last couple of hours. She no longer seems to be in pain and for that I am thankful.

Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you have all had a great weekend. It is a beautiful day here on Ohio's north coast. I even washed a couple of windows today ~ just the outside but what a difference it makes. Now if I could only find the ambition to do more.....

Pug hugs :)
